Not only that, they flew in just minutes before knowing they were turning around.

Other planes had to turn back.

That pilot rode that gap in the storm all the way out into the Atlantic.

Balls of steel.

I don't think the storm clouds are very tall until you get closer to the cyclone eye-wall. A jet can easily climb above them in a dozen miles or so.

Sad to think that the pilot probably has a wife who will not appreciate his gift and pleasure him tonight.

Not discounting the pilots balls, but they (NOAA, Air Force) fly planes through every hurricane. My understanding is it's really not that bad until they get to the eye wall as the winds are mostly horizontal.

Irma thought it was a United flight and didn't want to get roughed up.

They fly "through" hurricanes all the time. Repositioning planes and getting crew out

Ole baw probably flew this one with a Beam in one hand
